Thomas English Steadicam Cameraman London

Thomas English works as a cameraman with a specialty as a Steadicam Operator. He started in the moving image business at 18 making and mixing events visuals for bands and nightclubs as a visual jockey. This led to a 3 year stint at BBC documentary factual as an Avid editor and cameraman where, with his visuals and motion graphics background, he gained a reputation as someone that could make something visually arresting from any material. He left the BBC 7 years ago to specialize in Steadicam, something he had already been doing for 5 years; messing about with tiny lightweight steadicam rigs to make events visuals.

Currently Thomas English is available for Feature Films, Commercials, Music Videos, and Television work. He prides himself on speed and efficiency in setup and re-rig and de-rig times.

Steadicam Op….
With 12+ years of experience of operating big rig Steadicams there isn’t a rig, situation or problem I haven’t seen. Certainly there are new challenges and I would dearly love it if you could bring those challenges to me.

MK-V AR + Omega Revolution rig...
THE MK-V AR HAS NOW BEEN UPGRADED TO THE OMEGA-REVOLUTION. MUCH HIGHER RESOLUTION AND FAR MORE RELIABLE THAN THE PREVIOUS SENSOR AND BRAIN TECHNOLOGY.

Steadicam Segway – Steadiseg
Now available directly from myself. Also available from Optical Support.
Announcing the new Steadiseg. A specially converted Segway to take Steadicam and accessories. Because I don’t actually have my own showreel yet I am going to show you other peoples showreels so you can get an idea as to what is possible.

A Camera / B Camera Handheld, Remote Head etc...
Especially in drama I am often asked to do A camera or B camera operating. When not on Steadicam jump on the camera and do whatever is required to make the story. I’m well practised on the wheels for geared and remote heads.

I have numerous credits from where I worked as a regular camera-operator (A or B cam) as well as Steadicam these include some recent ones below:
